NCAA Tournament Score Predictions: Elite Eight

The following projected results for the Elite Eight round of the 2009 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament uses score predictions that are automated based on average performances for each team. Relative adjustments are made for the difference between schedule strength and current opponent strength (per the RogersPoll.com method).

This method proved to be quite successful in predicting bowl games this past season. This is the first time I have attempted to apply it to the college basketball domain.

Michigan State over Louisville, 69-67

Connecticut over Missouri, 76-70

Pittsburgh over Villanova, 73-69

North Carolina over Oklahoma, 78-77
